COPELANDSVIENS OND.C MATTERS Senator Says Commissioners Should Be Possessed of Rare Qualities. Copeland, in an address before the Petworth Citizens® in Joppa Lodge Tiall, shur streets, last Senator K Association Ninth and Uf explained hi: confirmation of newly appointed District Commissioners, He said he | desired to determine from personal | t with the men appointed wheth ye deemed them capable of fulfill- | tng the position. In view of the vote-| Jess plight of the re #ald, men should be with the citizens for agreeable things to occur W test. and pointed to the new Tligh School as an examp Jaxity. In this structure, he declared, it did not require the application of art, architecture or engineering knowledge to see that the placing of a heating plant and large smokestack on the most prominent corner was ob- ectionable. i Senator Copeland defended an amendment _he proposed some time ago to permit the exemption from tax- atlon of persons stricken with fll- ness, where doctor, medicine and hoe- pital bills mount up to tax the fani- 1y budget. He lauded the citizens' movement and stated that it might be well to compel members of Congress to at- tend these meetings regularly in or- der to gain an insight into what is going on and needed in the city. Fling at Lame Ducks. Charles 1. Stengle, delegate to the Federation of Citizens' Associations, attacked the act of the Senate in at-| taching to the appropriation bill a | provision for a corporation counsel | for the District to be appointed by the | President and confirmed by the Sen-| ate and providing no specifications | for residence in the city. He said he believed a lame-duck Senator wanted the job and the only advantage of | the provision will be an increase in the ever-growing population of ex-Senators and ex-Representatives in Washing- | ton. Action was taken urging the Senate and House District committees to ex- clude this provision and to continue to permit the Commissioners to se- lect their own corporation counsel. The Federation of Citizens' Associa- tlons will be asked to take up this matter. Because of the practice of the ex- press companies here charging what was said to be double rates in some mections of the community, it was voted to request the companies to ex- tend their free-service limits as far north as Hamilton street and east to Rock Creek Church road. A motion was adopted opposing the granting of privilege of erecting structures in ex- cess of the present building height at Fifteenth and H streets northwest. New members elected were: Paul A. Stewart, George E. Harris, Sam- uel Fingerbutt, T. E. Beck. C. C. Poss, C. T. Gellogg, Mrs, M. O. Bead, E. L. Wittstatt. Jesse L. Bunck, Gar- rett J. Tucker, Jane A.
